There's
no doubt that when it comes to wood model kits, the sailing ships
are the most common known to most people, even if they're not
a modeler.

Of
course when they see the model, it's often been finished, and
they don't see the endless hours of assembling the kit plank by
plank, rigging line by rigging line.

That's
why finished kits can run into the thousands of dollars when sold
for display.

These
are probably some of the most complicated wood kits available.
However, they're known for their fine detail. The kind of details
that take a long time to see when looking at the model. The more
you look, the more incredible the details pop out at you.

These
are not just models, they are slices of past history.

These
are traditional wood sailing ship models. These kits are
more often museum grade, with hundreds of parts. But make
fantastic models when completed to display. They use wood,
cloth, string (thread), brass, and other materials to build
fantastic ship models.
